Frugal Birthday Ideas

Birthday season is over in our house. We don’t have another birthday for almost 4 months. This is the time to start saving up for the next round of parties and presents. Over the years as our family has grown we have found more and more creative ways to host parties for less.

I use this birthday free time to scour the internet and ask friends for their advice on how to have great birthdays for less. Here are a few frugal birthday articles to help you have a super day without a super budget!

Hi…the link on “Throw a Large Party for Less” directs me back to the same link as “Keep it Simple”.

Another great idea is sharing birthdays…which is something we are doing in 9 days. We are throwing a Triple 3 Birthday Bash celebrating my daughter, her cousin & their friend who are all turning 3 within 1 week of each other. This saves everyone time & money because 1.) we are not rushing around to 3 different parties w/in a 1 week period (guests included) & 2.) All of the costs are split between 3 families.

Thanks for this. I grew up with simple parties and was expecting to do the same for my daughter’s first birthday in a few weeks. Then my various in-laws informed me that they were all flying out for the party which has left me trying to figure out how to throw one…You linked to some great ideas which should really help ease the burden.
